I think you will immediately see how that utility make SAMBA use "too simple".

Thanks. The only thing that is "too simple" is that it doesn't seem to have a provision for setting up more than one share. I'd like to have more than one share. Is there a config file I can edit to add additional shares?

SAMBA config is found in /etc/samba/smb.conf. System is set to use that.

After manual changes, test your changes by opening a terminal and type

Code:

testparm

Be sure to restart SAMBA via SSM for changes to take effect. Also, after modifying smb.conf and opening SSM, INSURE YOU DO NOT SAVE IT on SSM screen! to avoid mismanaging the prior changes you made to the smb.conf file.

There is one additional thing that MUST be done after you setup the SSM to share a folder that you choose. The server needs a password of your choosing to access your folder from the LAN PCs. I think this is explained in the document I shared earlier.

To do so, merely open a terminal and do the following to set your desktop's password along with the SAMBA password
Do this

Code:

passwd

Then do this

Code:

smbpasswd -a

Now, from any Windows/Mac/Linux PC, when it ask you to provide the username and password, use root and the password you chose from above, when necessary.

I didn't do any of this. I just entered "root" and "woofwoof" when Windows prompted me for credentials and it worked.
